Motley Fool, a stock-discussion site that inspired a once-confident generation of online investors to play the stock market on their own and ignore costly professional advisers, now wants to provide advice for a fee.

The Web site (www.motleyfool.com), founded in 1994 "to educate, amuse and enrich" investors, this week launched a new service that will charge investors $149 a year for personalized investing guidance from a professional financial adviser.
